This version of Jenny once traveled to [[Sucria]] in [[Reality B-89 54-Z]] in search of the [[witch]] [[Grandmother Ginger]]. She did so impulsively, on the faith of an echo of [[#In Reality 89-B 54-Z|another life]] that had come to her in a dream — leaving her loved ones with little in the way of explanation, something she subsequently felt quilty about. Although she had a map of the [[Candy Forest]] where Ginger was said to reside, and could also rely on the knowledge of her other selves, she didn't know Ginger's exact location. On the outskirts of the Forest, she found a shack whose current owner turned out to be another with who was engaged in a feud with Ginger, known as [[Old Mother Westwind]]. Although Westwind had no more detailed knowledge of Ginger's current location than Jenny, she agreed to join her expedition as the two wandered deeper into the Forest. | This version of Jenny once traveled to [[Sucria]] in [[Reality B-89 54-Z]] in search of the [[witch]] [[Grandmother Ginger]].

The two journeyed for three days. Growing desperate for food other than sweets, they split up so that Westwind could go hunting. Instead, she was attacked by a monster. When Jenny rushed to help, she found Westwind lying on the ground with a fang or claw embedded in her chest and a giant spider standing over her; she attacked the spider, [[shift]]ing a bucket into its mouth and kicking it, but it revealed itself as actually Grandmother Ginger herself, who helped Jenny realise that her counterpart in this world had been Ginger's own niece, and the very child based on the disappearance of whom Ginger and Westwind had started feuding. Before they could discuss this any more, the actual attacker, [[the Old Man of the Marshmallow]], revealed himself to Jenny, prompting her to remember what the Sucria Jenny — who the Old Man soon clarified was dead — had known about him. She did her best to stop the Old Man from realising that she was a different Jenny from the one he'd met as Ginger and Westwind began to fight him.

She did her best to stop the Old Man from realising that she was a different Jenny from the one he'd met as Ginger and Westwind began to fight him. When the Old Man seemed to get the upper hand, Jenny used her [[shift]]ing powers to abruptly zap her to the other side of the forest, before trying to convince the Old Man that this was Ginger's own doing, the unveiling of one of many new powers she had acquired while he'd been imprisoned in the marshmallow. As he argued back and forth with her, he began to shift back to his weaker humanoid shape. At the opportune time, Jenny summoned Ginger back; the witch had slipped into the form of a fearsome giant scorpion. At Jenny's suggestion, she simply let herself from overhead where Jenny had summoned her, crushing the Old Man, whose last words were simply: “Oh. …Oh, no”. | |||
When Ginger turned back to human form and stepped aside, it was found that nothing remained of the Old Man but a crushed marshmallow and a magical key he'd been carrying in his pocket. Ginger seemed to recognise the key; when Jenny asked what it opened, Ginger answered that it would open “the gates of [Jenny's] mind” and plunged it into her forehead.
